what's up poison peso
what's up dude thanks for coming to my space
just started a little bit late waiting to see there's a couple other people
that want to come in here I kind of just switched the time last second but had a
doctor's appointment today so thank you all for understanding jimmy what's up I
just saw that it's like 4 a.m. your time thanks for stopping by dude always
welcome to come up I'm literally just like in here brainstorming gonna kind of
there's people that don't know about monthly Earth Day kind of want to let
them know also just what it's about I want to talk about the node leader
program or I guess not program but look node leaders we kind of have quite a few
people wanting to do that which is pleasant it's a pleasant surprise for
sure it's up Jimmy I don't know if you're up here yet it said you are
cool there is what's up man thanks for coming in my pleasure dude it's your
spaces are worth it yes you're right it is four oh two in the morning over here
in Copenhagen Thailand but uh but dude I love what you're doing and what you're
doing with these monthly Earth Days man it's uh it's got so much potential to
really snowball and already is snowballing right we need to reach that
next echelon of partnerships to really have this snowball become a massive thing
a movement and avalanche of positive impact let's freaking grow highly
autistic crypto whales in the building yeah dude I completely agree it's kind
of crazy when I look back at last year all the impact that we had during one of
the worst bear market cycles out there I mean obviously we're still kind of in a
crappy market but just hearing about everybody's like bad experiences during
this market or just no traction I kind of had the complete opposite with this
monthly Earth Day and I don't know if that's just because it's it's a it's a
feel-good movement that literally cost people nothing I think that's just where
a lot of people that's why the market crap is people don't want to spend their
money on anything and that's why I love doing this monthly Earth Day but on the
other hand of it you know I'm asking for a lot of people to give their time and
stuff like that which if you're very passionate about what I'm passionate
about then it's then it's no it's no big deal but on my end I definitely want to
try and figure out something to to be able to give back you know just because
it's scratching my back so I'd love to scratch everybody else's back so yeah
that's why going forward I'm trying to this year focus on partnerships with
web two companies with more web three companies it's that's I think that's
honestly just the big way that I'm gonna be able to grow like drastically I guess
you could call it and I don't know if that's gonna be a good or a bad thing
growing too fast but just with the movement and what my goal is I feel like
the more people the better so that's why I'm like let's let's go full full full
blown on this it's a peso thanks for coming in man how you doing what's good
y'all and happy monthly every day I'm saying I came through been a huge just
supporting like you know I'm saying where I can I'm saying on the side but
uh yeah I will share that dream in this space I didn't know it's gonna come
around this fast neither but yeah I'll be able to share it in a bit after you
finish after oh my gosh I that today is the day and I am so stoked I had again
didn't have any idea you were gonna come through here but to finally hear this
dream I am so stoked for so yeah definitely let me know and interrupt me
if you have to go or something like that it's not gonna be a crazy long space
today like I said it's the first one I don't know if it's gonna be weekly
bi-weekly it just kind of kind of depends on I guess the turnout but I'm
kind of shooting for weekly only because I'm trying to you know get more
attention on this the only way to do that is by awareness and education I
always preach that and so people don't know about it unless they know about it
so hoping that this is just a different avenue of to get more eyes on it but
anyway Jimmy so as far as node leaders go I guess my idea behind the whole node
leader is again there's not really a commitment a contract anything like that
it's honestly just asking people to help grow the movement and do what I do but
in your in your own area so just to allow me to hopefully be able to focus
on trying to close these deals with corporations with nonprofits stuff like
that it's just I feel like I'm kind of strown all like just all over the place
right now with with this monthly Earth Day so that's why I'm kind of looking
for some help as of right now I have I believe five or six people that are
wanting to join in as a node leader for those of you that are listening I really
appreciate it let's see Funky World and then I don't want to butcher butcher your
name but the communications down there first step I appreciate you stopping in
here also and also Alex I love seeing you man thank you for coming in here and
supporting also monthly Earth Day I guess I can start with that cuz a few of
you don't even know me but monthly Earth Day is an initiative that I started back
in September of 2022 I figured you know I'm big on actual Earth Day which is
April 22nd I was born on that day so it's just natural that I have a passion
for the earth for nature so with that being said I just felt it was kind of
crazy that we're literally only celebrating and taking care of this earth
one day a year like that's just absolutely silly to me yeah yeah my
grandfather was Harry's his on the 17th with 17 is my favorite number my
girl's birthday is on the 19th so it's gonna be easy to remember the 22nd for
sure oh heck yeah um it's I think I'd literally fall under the torus right I
think I'm one or two days into the torus but I mean anything close to that
obviously he's got like some good stuff to it but uh yeah that's crazy oh yeah
we're uh we're apparently hard to get along with sometimes but I try to be my
best self out here with everybody I'm literally just like a good person trying
to to make this world a better place and you know I do it with help with you guys
and all these amazing I call them a refam my regenerative family so it's I
don't know it's just really cool but yeah so started that celebrating on the
22nd of every single month and like I said it was kind of a crappy year for
everybody else as far as just like the bear market NFTs go I get it I have an
NFT side of the business that literally is doing nothing so that's why I'm
focusing on monthly Earth Day but in that one year let me see if I can find
my bookmark of course I'm not gonna be able to find it oh here we go so if you
can look up at the top I kind of compiled a little bit of stuff as far as
everything that we've done in the first year collectively again I am I'm so
proud of everybody's part or participation the collaborations I've
met with you know the people that I've met the collaborations I've had we were
able to have over a hundred different people projects join in from around the
world they weren't necessarily participating every single month but
throughout the entire year they participated at least at least once or
twice a lot of these if you go to thank you Jimmy for posting the monthly Earth
Day but that first one if you go to that a lot of those people that are posting
have been with this initiative for six plus months which is really awesome to
see because you know after a few times it when I first started there was a lot
of participation and then it kind of dwindled as we went on and that's where
I just don't want it to become boring I don't want people to just be like well
I'm not I'm not making a difference you know I just picked up one teeny bag of
trash or you know I used recycled recycled uh I used reusable bags instead
of you know plastic or whatever a lot of people just don't feel like they're
actually making an impact and that's why I I really try to push this monthly
Earth Day because collectively you do matter everybody matters everything that
you do goes towards the cause and that's if you're not doing it then you know who
is so so it's just really cool so over a hundred different people projects that
have joined in from around the world we planted well over 30,000 trees a lot of
that is due to this man up here this legend Jimmy on one of the Earth Days he
went out and said I'm calling it you set the Guinness Book of World Record for
personal tree planting even though they didn't recognize it you got all the
stuff for it but over 26,000 trees in a 24-hour period you are the frickin man
dude and then you're going for I heard today the third time in February that's
just that's asinine I was talking to my wife and I was like that's that's
insane Jimmy is literally planting like 70,000 trees by himself in three
fucking days like well dude okay so yeah as you said it wasn't officially
certified by Guinness originally they were gonna come to Kenya to certify
everything but like a protest broke out they didn't think it was safe but they're
like if you film it for for the full 24 hours then they can verify it but
it was bucketing down rain so hard and even though we had this plastic thing to
try to protect the camera water still got inside and fried the inverter we
lost several gigabytes of footage and even though yeah we had another camera
to film we thought that footage is like corrupted file we try to fix it but dude
I'm that I haven't I'm not at all upset at the fact that that happened even
though it might have been frustrating in the moment it's such a beautiful silver
lining and now I get to do this again it's been the best thing for my personal
health like training quite a lot for this one my goal is 30,000 trees in 24
hours and and I think I'm a lot more prepared now and when I was a cop 28 I
met this guy who goes by the green shake he's basically like an
environmentalist in the royal family of UAE and he's actually gonna be flying
over to Thailand to try to be there and we're hopefully lucky in some
sponsorship be able to be able to pay Guinness they do charge quite a fee to
come through and certify everything but if we can do that we get tons of media
and really blow this thing up and and yeah let's grow I'm pumped for it so the
numbers is almost actually 26 not more than 26 but the first time actually so
there were two times right before so it was twenty two thousand eight hundred
and ten and also twenty five thousand two hundred forty four and yeah but like
I said my goal is gonna be 30,000 and get it certified by Guinness and the
reason why I'm trying to do this by the way is so that we can get the attention
and the credibility of you know do I'm actually gonna be having meetings with
the team of mr. Beast because they did this crazy max impact megaspace we got
tons of connections four points of contact with one degree separation to
the mr. Beast team based influencer in the world right and we're gonna try to
break the next world record which is most number of trees planted by any
number of people right and that is 560 million trees set by Ethiopia now keep
in mind there's hardly any mangroves in Ethiopia and so like just one country
was able to do that now imagine if all across the world you had tree planters
regenerators doing their thing to try to make history on Earth Day right leading
up to the big one these monthly Earth Days are like the practice it's like the
training ground it's the it's the time that we have to form it the alliances
right I'm talking United Nations Earth Day we need to collaborate with I'm
talking rotary clubs all around the world more than a million people I'm
talking you know Lions Club whatever you whatever organizations you might want to
collaborate with mr. Beast as we were saying before that team like we need to
unite everyone right the entire globe around making history on Earth Day and
and yeah I'm so grateful that you put this together man because like I said
you're gaining more momentum just look at all those freakin logos man like if
this is this is it we all need one big exciting goal that we can all get
excited you know strive for get like this gets me excited one of the reasons
why I'm able to plant trees for 24 hours and not even think about oh yeah let's
do it again for a third freakin time actually Kawagumba is here he was with
me the last time I did it in Kenya he was passing me propagules almost the
entire 24 hours like a freakin champion as well so shout out to Kawagumba John
much love to him and but but the reason why I have the energy to do that the
reason why I have the energy to do 60 hours straight on a Twitter space
interviewing someone almost every hour is because that is a big exciting
freakin goal like imagine for a moment if this movement becomes really capable
of making history dude like more than 560 million trees in one day like that
is making history like no morbid and we can certify right with all these refi
web 3 and you know measuring importing verification right MRV technologies we
can like certify it all around the world and like actually make this like a game
right every month this can be gamified and we can make it fun and engaging for
people right what what if like dude what if Thailand is like yo Thailand we're
gonna beat your record of Ethiopia doing 560 million trees a day of course
Thailand could do we have mangroves here like they're gonna have that in Ethiopia
and they did 560 million in a day imagine Thailand as a competitive thing
as a full country right is what I'm talking UN level as a country is
competitive and then then all these other countries you know then Kenya
joins in right Kenny is like trying to be you know they're both in East Africa
they're trying to compete imagine like on a country level a competition of
Earth Day of how many you know hundreds of millions if not billions of trees
could some countries potentially do like that is something I think is gonna
really get everyone excited and pumped around this thing so yeah back to you
crypto whales I love you're doing this thing every month dude like straight up
round of applause to you
no I mean it's honestly the thing that fuels me and keeps me going every month
is all of you guys honestly like it would be really boring if I was
seriously doing this every single month by myself only picking up a couple bags
of trash each time like this collective effort is what seriously like just pumps
my blood man it is it's very exciting anytime somebody tells me I want to join
in like it I don't know I like lose my mind it's just super it's super awesome
and so that's why like you know this year I want to make it fun like I want
him I want it to be cool like I want to you know earn tokens because we're all
doing it anyway there's so many different ways that we can you know
either benefit from this or further our impact and that's that's literally all I
want to do is I'm just trying to make everybody you know help out and make
this world a better place without you know without anything asking too much so
also like with that like with monthly earth or with Earth Day like you were
saying I think a lot of these collaborations that I'm working on like
these corporations and in real life web to companies a lot of them are gonna
focus on actual Earth Day because that's what they already you know have an event
on so that's what they plan for anyway so it might they might have to wait
until then which it's not that's not very far down the road but I had a
meeting with one tree planted that was a fantastic meeting and it's I mean it's
just is one thing where they love the initiative and love what's going on and
it's something that they're gonna try to push out from their Instagram or their
Twitter account also and they said that you know maybe something we can set up
partnership for actual Earth Day because that's like like I said that's
what they focus on but I know on Earth Day they focus on planting trees like
wherever they're at they have a big event in Colorado that I'm gonna try to
go to that is literally planting trees I think they said last year they planted
over a thousand trees on Earth Day it's a little bit different here we are
planting like pine trees and evergreen trees so you have to like actually dig
into the ground for it I don't know what that entails I definitely would
much rather to be planting mangrove trees which also we have in the United
States down near Florida so that's where you know you talk about this thing
becoming huge as far as like the the planting trees I dream of the day that
this monthly Earth Day blows up and I'm literally able to just you know get in
contact with these people and be like hey let's let's plant an event like
let's blow this up let's do something cool for you guys get attention for the
company that's doing something I just have all these ideas that I want to be
doing and yeah I'm just one person so that's why I love this web 3 this you
know this journey meeting you Jimmy I've met so many freaking people through you
man and your spaces and everything like that so I'm definitely very thankful for
for the journey so far but like you said I know that there's so much more
potential with this monthly Earth Day and so yeah going back this this whole
participation thing it doesn't if you look up at the top there's a lot of
projects and businesses people that are in regenerative finance are in tree
planting and stuff like that impact projects you don't have to be one of
those to join as long as you want to do something good for this world like I
want you to join the refam it's it's literally the only way that we can grow
is if we get everybody on board not just a few select people that are like oh hey
I like doing good it's like oh I only want you like no you like doing good I
know you've talked about it with people tell those people to join in then they
can talk about it like it's just a big snowball effect I'm working with my local
government to also have a big Earth Day event hopefully that they can draw in
a lot of people from the local community to help out with this cleanup
event which then that opens the doors because people people see me they know
what I'm doing I'm gonna have banners and stuff like that so again it's
hopefully this month this Earth Day April is like the start of just where it
really blows up I know the participation is not crazy right now but again there's
still people that are continuously doing it and that's just what I appreciate a
lot of people are resharing we got over 2,000 views on this last Earth Day which
is a lot more than we've we've been seeing so again I know January starts
like a new year for everybody on X and web 3 and it just puts a little bit more
excitement in the air I know I noticed that last year doing this a lot more
people started showing interest in January February March and then April
was a big day a big one so I'm hoping for the same just hoping that we can
continue it throughout the summer the fall and everything like that also Jimmy
I don't know what your thoughts are but there's a couple different web 3
companies that I'm wanting to partner with I see James McGee down here Mr.
Carbon Counting Club I am gonna be definitely working on that I have people
that if they don't want to donate their pictures for Earth Day or a monthly
Earth Day which is what I've been asking for in the DMS if you would like
to donate your pictures that you submitted to the monthly Earth Day
community then I can take care of the donating or sending the picture in to
all of these you know proof of proof to earn or anything like that Jerry NFT we
try better I'm gonna take all those pictures and literally I have my own
folder and I'm gonna just start sending those in so like I said just further the
impact we already have these pictures out there you can just do so much more
with the exact same picture and have an even better impact so again it doesn't
matter the size of the of the action it still matters and still has an impact
which is what we're working for but as far as other web 3 partnerships who else
is out there that you know of Jimmy I know like plastics plastics IO I'm in
contact with them also to try and see if we can get a partnership together there's
just like so many people that we've met that I just don't know exactly everybody
that's doing like the tokens nowadays let's see who else we have thought
there's somebody else but I can't remember my bad sorry I was inviting some
people here saying this message out could you say one more time you wanted
to connect with yeah no I was just a picking your brain on who else is able
or who else should I reach out to as far as you know furthering the impact with
these pictures I know that they're carbon counting club I know the plastic
yeah yeah so there's also litter coin as far as I know mr. McGee actually and
that's an amazing new PFP by the way mr. McGee shout out to him funding not just
I believe mangrove tree planting but also helping the solar punk Dow that's
it's amazing to see you coming up here the speaker yeah mr. McGee actually
would be a great person to ask about this because I remember you were
compiling a list before so you probably know what's good yeah I actually
completely forgot about litter token litter coin they were also somebody that
I've been in contact with so so yeah and then I know there's like green zone they
have GZX coin they're down in Texas right now but they're always looking to
expand I'm gonna try and see if I can get them on board with my actual
government because I told them just the government my government was talking
about when I met with them back in December they their big thing was you
know how do we how do we benefit everybody not just you know how can we
benefit the less fortunate people you know that we have a lot of transients
here so a lot of homeless people that are coming through my town and so that
she's you know she said what you know what are ways we're always looking for
ways to help them and I told her I said hey you know there's a company that I
know can bring a vending machine and literally you know homeless people can
go and take plastics into the vending machine and get you know some tokens for
it so that's where I told her like it'd be cool to get the city involved because
yeah if anybody who cleans up anything is able to earn something off of it so
so yeah mr. McGee how you doing James thanks for coming up I'm doing well yeah
there's a few different bounty programs out there for environmental stuff I know
that there's the evergreen coin there's clean planet there's litter token
there's I know there's a few others as well that I've seen and it's good to get
these things out there and promoted they are you know a lot of them are
self-faring novelty but it's good to get people introduced to the technology in
whatever way we can as far as like the ways we can do this or like you could do
it at a local level creating a token in a bounty program is actually not that
difficult especially if you have a organizing or orchestrating body like
government it doesn't cost anything other than a little bit of time and some
talent to create a token on one of these networks a layer two so you could
also just take what you're learning from these different groups and your
government can create their own tokenized bounty program in the area that
is you know subsidized with their various grant fundings and things to
make these programs happen locally I think it's that when we try to scale the
global levels there's a lot of different challenges involved but as far as just
like taking these tools and using them for this kind of program whether it's
local locally funded or and controlled or like it's globally funded and locally
controlled there are various ways that these things could be constructed and
operated that's awesome I actually that's a really good idea as far as like
even having the local government even create their own coin if that's the thing
I know Colorado is big on I guess not necessarily big they're accepting or I
guess receptive to cryptocurrency to web 3 I know in Denver the city of Denver
you can pay your your state taxes using crypto that's frickin awesome that
obviously means like the state is using that for something or plan on using that
for something so so yeah that would be really cool there's somebody and now I'm
gonna have a hard time remembering I don't have my my other notebook with me
but there is somebody in Denver that said that they have oh it's a Sammy from
the solar heads they they're based out of Colorado also and he says that he
has some really good connections with the people in the government down in
Denver and he goes let's uh let's have let's talk maybe we can get this whole
thing ran by the city of Denver and get them on board that's literally like a
dream having major cities on board to literally again like I'm not as of right
now I don't make anything on this I don't necessarily I don't have a plan to
want to make anything on this if all of a sudden that does come about because
I've made it so big then that would be cool then I can actually quit my job and
focus on cleaning up the world every single day that'd be great but the the
idea of a major city the the capital city of Colorado like wants to join in
so it's a lot easier to get more exposure that way and that's just what
excites me is like if I can get help with setting up these events just
bringing people it's just gonna grow that much more and then if we have an
event with like say 50 people I just can't even imagine what that impact is
gonna be first of all and second of all what the next month is be gonna be like
because you know at least half of those people are gonna go and tell somebody
what they did that day even if they are like oh I had to go pick up trash and it
was crappy well guess what why'd you pick up trash oh well because of this
event for monthly or the blah blah blah like literally any kind of exposure is
gonna be good exposure in my opinion and that's why you know I kind of tried not
to make this very political at all I just am wanting people to clean up the
earth that's it or not necessarily clean it up do anything positive plant
trees help animals out help you know whatever that's just literally the goal
of this whole thing so so no I definitely appreciate some of those other
ideas go ahead James there's been a number of studies done on local
currencies and how they help bolster the local economy and create the economic
stability and you know essentially profits for the community as a whole I
would say take some of these papers and read over them take that information to
whoever you're going to speak to show them how other communities have done
locally localized currencies in the past and how it has bolstered their economy
and then you say and instead of doing it with wooden chips or tokens that could
be counterfeited or these various papers that are done on trust like many of
these communities and the studies have been done we can do it with a trustless
system using web 3 technologies this isn't like something new and exciting
it's in fact something that has been studied for a long time we know it is
very beneficial to the community so you take that and then you say this is a
tool that we can make sure people don't cheat you and this is what you want to
do yeah that's it's genius I I don't know why I've never thought of that I
love it poison go ahead you had your hand up oh no I was just gonna ask did
you um did you apply to eat different yeah are you going to eat Denver I'll be
there um well I know I just they accepted me yesterday to where like I'm
not sure like if I'm gonna make it but like possibly like maybe like send a
piece of art that can maybe be in there something that's awesome you'll have to
you'll have to let me know if you don't if you aren't able to make it let me know
if you end up sending something because as of right now I think I don't really
have a whole lot of people that I'm going with I'm literally just going for
my own exposure I know will T I'm gonna be meeting up with him from Denver but
yeah let me know and I will try to find your art and I'll at least take a
picture and send it to you man because that's that's something to be proud of
for sure just having your art be a part of like a web 3 event it's my very first
web 3 event that I'll be going to and I just keep on seeing all these
partnerships they keep announcing and announcing and I I don't know I'm just
excited to like be able to network with people and hopefully again I will be
talking about my monthly Earth Day yeah hoping hoping I can get some some merch
designed or like sent out before that for a four monthly Earth Day so that way
I can just kind of like wear it around because that'd be that'd be pretty
awesome to just have people even asking questions or what's that easy easy
conversation starter right there but yeah I can definitely say you know I'm
saying the project definitely has a building you know I'm saying it's
definitely has the energy this building like JOC down there I went to NFT NYC
the first time this year to just pass JOC like we are actually roomed together
and he spoke on one of the first indigenous panels like NFT NYC and
performed and you know he actually gave me like 15 minutes in his set to perform
on the main stage NFT NYC so like he's a solidified legend in the game you know
I'm saying just in music and everything you know I'm saying but just how it came
to fruition like we have been speaking for like a long time and to get to you
know I'm saying go up there and like just see everything that was going on
you know I'm saying was definitely amazing and like just to know you know
I'm saying like how we could like make something like that happen you know so
definitely you know I'm saying it's gonna be fire for your first one you know
it was I don't know it was like a lot of events that was going on around but it
was you know I'm saying awesome so definitely look forward you know
I'm saying have a great time yeah that's cool man that's like that's
definitely encouraging to hear just like partnerships or just you know stuff that
you've built you know through like web through events I feel like it's
inevitable I mean everybody is there for one reason and it's to push web 3 so if
it's like I don't know if people resonate with it there's gonna be
thousands of people there there's got to be a couple people you know that are
down to help out with this I know like refi Denver I know there's a couple
regenerative finance companies that are gonna be at Denver or East Denver so I'm
definitely looking forward to it so it's there it's encouraging to hear like I
don't know like that you can have an amazing experience yeah because I've
heard I've heard some bad ones but but yeah for my first one I'm definitely
gonna be like eyes open everywhere trying to soak it all in and try to
talk to as many people as possible um let's see trying to flip through my new
book sorry ships um I think that might actually be everything I kind of wanted
to talk about today so so yeah we can kind of like open it up for whatever but
yeah node leaders I want to go back to that really quick node leaders like I
said there's no contract or anything like that it's literally just signing up
to be a leader for your area and that's just wherever you live and that's just
trying to get as many people out as possible for this monthly Earth Day and
help push the movement and it can be anything like bringing your family out
to you know pick up trash or you know do something small and then you can bring
in neighbors or just people that you talk to that you feel comfortable with
to start and then it just you know goes from there snowball like I said but yeah
if anybody has any ideas further as far as partnerships that I should reach out
to to help with this you know to earn help earn and help with a monthly Earth
Day community the goal is if I can raise you know some funds with these tokens
that we can earn it would be cool to give back to the people that are
participating constantly like give something cool to them a raffle or if
I'm able to you know swap it out or just give them the coins like shit and then
they can swap it out if they want for you know fiat or buy some NFTs with it
or whatever you're able to do like you guys said there James said some of them
are just kind of like a luxury item which which is totally fine at least you
know something is it's just proof that proof of proof of good you're doing
something and you're getting something in return I'm hoping to possibly get my
brother back involved with making some of these po-apps like the the moving
gifts that I had that would be really cool to get back on like the crypto whale
coin that I had that we were in different environments different
atmospheres they're just really cool to have just cool art to have so maybe I
can get back involved with that they kind of have a lot of crazy stuff going
on right now they're like getting their whole house redone because of a warranty
issue they're like their house is above underground river and they're just now
finding out that's why their house is sinking it's it's kind of weird um but
but yeah again anything else like that if anybody has any ideas of ways to give
back I've tried giving out my own NFTs at some point and didn't seem like that
had too much traction maybe just cuz I don't know you look at my NFTs and
they're not anything super crazy but again it's just something cool that
could potentially be handed out yeah anything does anybody else have anything
else I gotta go and probably about 10-15 minutes to go pick up my wife from the
other doctor's appointments and take her to the next one but if not poison I
definitely want to hear this story of yours yo so I know like dreams do come
to fruition in like the Astorum is crazy you know what I'm saying and what you
know I'm saying all of that stuff so I think we was we might have been in the
24-hour space I'm not sure we might have been in the 24-hour space and we had
just got out of it we had just got out of it and I think it was that next night
I went to sleep and you know I'm saying I went in the deep sleep and like I
don't know like I guess I was dreamed about orchowills I like actually turned
into a orchowill it was like actually crazy but the thing about the dream was
that like the like the feeling of like growing gills and like turning into like
orchowill like it was actually like super real I don't know if I was
detoxing during that time or what you know I'm saying but it was super crazy I
was swimming you know I'm saying through the water after that happened you know
I'm saying so I like always rock with orchowills but I'll never forget like I
think it was after that space or like I guess you had like mentioned it but I'm
always looking at I'm always clicking on the PFP and then you know just like the
thought of orchowills was probably triggered you know too so yeah that
dream was crazy I always remember you know I'm saying cuz it was definitely
like feel real you know I'm saying I guess I was turning into orchowill man so
yeah south-south that I mean that's wild I know when I know it's super crazy I
don't dream a whole lot I think it's probably I don't get enough sleep
that's probably exactly what it is but I know like when I used to have crazy
dreams like you wake up and you're like oh my god like is that is that real like
what the heck just happened so I that's that's insane I mean I don't know if
that necessarily had anything directly to do with me but I mean that makes me
kind of proud to know like I don't know that you were subconsciously thinking
about orchowills like it's just it's just cool and I that's my favorite type
of whale so I don't ask me why I went with like an orca whale for my NFTs but
I just was tired of seeing like all the monkey PFPs and all that kind of stuff
and so this was like two years ago that was when like board API Club and all
that stuff and all the derivatives of it I was like no I don't I don't want a
cool cat or a monkey PFP I was like let's let's create some whales like
everybody talks about being a whale in crypto which is somebody that's a big
deal somebody important you know somebody that everybody wants to be and
I was like oh perfect so crypto whale came about and if I was gonna I think I
was actually drawing different whale heads and sending them to my cousin
because she was she's the artist on this entire project and when I sent it to her
I think it was a like a blue whale or like a sperm whale one of those that has
like the the huge it's like I've got the big long streaks underneath it's
under its neck or whatever and I sent her to I sent it to her and she was like
the hell it looks like a penis with shoulders like literally I was just like
oh my god I can't do that then it was it was silly but yeah I was like okay let's
just try to work a whale so that's that's how it came about
yo that's why I always rock whales you know freewheeling is definitely you
know I'm saying inspiration but I still think like without freewheeling like
watching a movie or popping up you know I'm saying you've been in space long
enough um you know I'm saying that it is some consciously like oracle whales are
kind of getting to me so yeah well dude much love to you I really appreciate
that it's uh it's cool to hear I'm glad I finally got to hear this dream like I
didn't know what to expect and that's that's badass that's really cool yeah I
don't even know what I'd do if I had that that would be weird if I had that
freaking dream something like that I'd probably wake up losing my mind but yeah
that's thank you for sharing that dude I really appreciate it no doubt man yeah
like I said you know it's definitely down in the books is one of my favorite
dreams like while I was going to Gil's I can imagine myself like in the bed
probably like closing the bar like shaking or something but it's all good
you know I woke up to a better day and you know I'm saying I'm here today to
tell the story so glad I could do it here you know I'm saying shots out to
the Earth Day and you know much love I'm gonna grab a whale soon I might just
check them out where they are and stuff so yeah for sure man much love yeah no
man I'm I'm proud of you for being where you're at today it says a lot especially
about especially about the person so you know good for you for doing that and
I'll shoot you a DM we'll talk we'll talk about one of the whales but we'll
I'll shoot you a DM and we can talk in the back end about that James I see your
hand is up what's up man um are you were talking about trying to reach out to
people for different collaborations various things to help I mean I would
say reach out to any of these refi projects that are trying to build a
community of various sorts like I've seen the solar punk Tao is doing a
bounty for Sunrises and I mean obviously they're verifying that themselves but a
lot of this to help reach a larger audience people need to delegate you
know can you oversee this and make sure people are getting paid for this kind of
thing or this interaction is happening the way we want so there may be in
various other communities you know like the solar punk Tao who are doing various
bounties who may want to do others so I would just any of them that you've met
just talk to and be like hey I do this and you know maybe we there's some way
that they can work together I know that I'm happy to help how I can you know
promotion is easy likes and shares are free happy to give them to you all day
long so I can at least do that for you I think that I appreciate a great deal
the consistency keeping the spaces open every month I get that personal life
comes up so sometimes dates get moved around I'm sure that if it was all easy
for everybody it would have already been all the problems that already be solved
so thanks for putting the hard work where it needs to be put of course man
and you're you're another person that literally just keeps me going your
passion for doing what you do the composting the reusing the repurposing
you were one of the first people like when you first started the monthly
Earthdays that kind of just like blew my mind I was like man there's people that
are doing this like in their everyday life that's just like how they live so
no you you've been a huge contributor to the monthly Earthdays and that's what I
wanted you to know like yes the love as far as like sharing and liking and stuff
like that that's that's obviously appreciated otherwise you know I would
have no exposure but just for you to participate so much it's it's definitely
very very much appreciated and you kill it man you you do an awesome job at
what you do
well I definitely appreciate that if it's alright with you I actually have a
bunch of NFTs that Jimmy actually paid for during get coin we were supposed to
give away all of them represent trees planted if people are here today and
participating and would like to send me a polygon address I will send you an NFT
that represents probably like five trees planted I just appreciate people coming
out to support the cause and you know I can facilitate it like I said it was
actually funded through Jimmy's generosity but sometimes it comes down
to delegating things out like that heck yeah I also want to give like flowers of
Jimmy so a lot of you know that I do plant trees with my NFTs not only just
donating to one tree planted and planting trees through them but I
personally fund tree planting through you know Jimmy and four trees club so I
did you know definitely appreciate everything that Jimmy does he was one of
the first like big people in the space as far as regens that I ran into a
couple months after I guess starting the monthly Earth Day and it just is like
grown each you know each month Jimmy's participated ton he's shouted it out but
also just like the tree planting man like much love dude I obviously you know
can send my money elsewhere but I just everything that you do I would I'm
happily sending my money to you instead and I know with that like I
believe as of right now we've planted or I've you know you've planted 2,990 trees
for me that's that's huge man like that's that's absolutely incredible so
flowers to you and much love man thank you so much again like Cala goomba the
stuff that he does down there is absolutely incredible I'm always showing
my wife the stuff that you're doing with your village your town the
students all that stuff your incredible asset to this movement and you're I mean
your own movement you're doing your own things down there but again much loves
you you've participated a ton in my monthly Earth days and it always makes me
proud to see you know people on different sides of the earth joining in
on this you know I'm in Colorado I'm very landlocked I don't have any oceans
I have the mountains and a lot of forest by me which in a lot of natural
areas which I'm so thankful for Colorado's gorgeous for that but a lot of
these people that are like oh you know aqua purge is another insane contributor
to monthly Earth Day they've cleaned up well over 2,600 pounds of trash just in
four Earth Day cleanups like that's that's insane like that is so much
trash and a lot of that just gets washed up onto the beaches which we all
know the the great the great trash patch that you know sits in the ocean I
see pictures and videos of Indonesia India just a lot of different you know
unfortunate situations and you know being in the United States it's like I
it's you don't see a lot of that especially if you're not looking for it
as far as just a different parts of the earth the different parts of the world
like you just don't know what's going on over there because it doesn't get talked
about in the news and or anything like that so unless you're actively
searching what's going on you just don't know about it and that's just one thing
I'm super thankful for this web 3 Twitter X whatever you want to call it
I've been able to see what everybody is doing and that just it fuels me it
really does like just seeing everybody doing these amazing things out there I
love getting to know you guys and what you're doing I love being able to help
if I can and a lot of that you know is like partnerships I've talked about I'm
gonna be talking with Sandra we all know Sandra from Tulum the House of Panther
refights a loom they're doing incredible things down in Mexico with
trash cleanup and taking the plastic in turning it into to good resources I let
my government know about that like they can even take it and put it I think turn
it into gas like for your car which is mind-blowing like why are we not doing
this so if it wasn't for this monthly Earth days running into Sandra like I
would have had no idea but when I tell other people about it again like I said
I always preach this awareness and education like if you don't know you're
not gonna know like so until you know that's when you can actually you know
give a shit about it and so that's why I'm very passionate about this very
passionate about sharing all of your guys's experiences everything that you
do and that's why I'm you know super proud of this monthly Earth Day because
you know not only is it just helping me push this movement but it allows me to
also shine light on what all of you are doing because yes you're cleaning up
trash but being able to shout you out people and you know tag you for
participating that's all literally takes people see a tag and they're like well
who's this all they do is click on it and you're like oh shit this person does
some insane things like that's really cool that's literally how I you know
started getting into everybody's DMS I literally just reach out to people go
to their their profile and I'm like oh my god I want to talk to this person and
again wouldn't be what it wouldn't be possible without this whole X and
everybody else that has been involved so much love and I appreciate you so
Jimmy I don't know if you're up here yet let's see
maybe maybe not but yeah so again like I seriously love all of you from the
bottom of my heart like everybody that contributes or just again like James
said the free exposure the the liking the re-sharing the commenting all of
that it literally helps gain exposure and I just am so appreciative of it
otherwise it'd be me by myself just having diarrhea of the mouth trying to
talk to everybody by myself it's up Jimmy you are up here
hey guys can you hear me clearly yes I can hear you can you hear me I can hear
you can you hear us it's cutting out of it for me
you are a little a little bouncy but I can hear you when you are popping in I'm
down and jump back up maybe that's the problem
I can hear you I think I can hear you sorry I'm downloading a video right now
oh you okay
you made it not just you made
who you are cutting out bad now several contributions like every every other
that's right I know like Jimmy said he's in he's in Thailand on a on an
island in Thailand so I'm sure it's uh it's early it's also I don't know how
again I don't know anything of any other country so I don't know how you know
internet access is and stuff like that but hopefully you can come back up here
but but yeah so again James like I do want to say thank you you know keep
doing what you're doing I want to keep you know you talked about evergreen coin
non-stop again like that's why I want to start participating I want to show
people that they can you know help you out while also getting helped I think I
sent CC from wild friends she participated last month in monthly Earth
Day I asked if she would like to donate the picture to monthly Earth Day and I
can take care of it or if she would like to learn how to do it I can teach her how
to send all that stuff in and she said she wants to learn this time so she
knows for future reference so yeah I'm teaching her how to submit pictures
through we try better and then also she said she's gonna jump into the discord
so she can get her EGC wallet and then I'm gonna show her how to start
submitting that way which is funny because I should be teaching myself and
doing it myself because I think I've only done it once maybe but or not at
all but I talk about doing it all the damn time so I'm helping other people do
it I'm big on doing it this year like I said I want to I want to take this to
the next level so that's shining light on this monthly Earth Day while shining
light on the rest of you guys and all the amazing things that you're doing to
help fuel this positive impact in the world Jimmy are you back up yes I am you
can hear me now right I can hear you so I believe you made several
contributions to four trees Club I'm going back to my emails now I'm actually
seeing there's a video with 1,130 trees then an additional 1,130 trees you may
yeah so let me get that video to you soon I'll post that to you but we have a
another video for you as an update from from four trees Club that's freaking
amazing dude I that those videos are awesome so if anybody in here which I
think a lot of people do know but there's a couple but Jimmy with four
trees Club they use AI technology to actually do you want to you can talk
about it actually because I'm gonna butcher it I'll let you talk about the
AI because it's it's freaking awesome oh thanks so basically yeah I tree
counting overlaid on top of the videos you can see it like a live count of the
trees but really what tree Gen's is doing as well as bringing that on chain
so that's kind of like what four trees and certainly my brother's company AI
for trees is kind of pioneering as different AI things for trees but what
we're doing is taking those videos and doing non fungible updates at tree Gen's
so that when you burn an M grow token which is what we issue you when you
plant the trees and we do proof of plant then you get this non fungible update
that's basically like the claim that hey we funded these trees so so yeah that's
what we're launching we in March I mean we've already done some non fungible
updates but really like a platform where all that's going to be automated and
flowing from our TGN governance token where that for the validators who do the
proofs of plants all the way to the M grow token for the people who get
rewarded and a dynamic semi soulbound token that ties into gamification
basically it changes as you plant trees or fund trees
dude that's like mind-blowing that it's it seriously is so cool I feel like I'm
such a baby in the space still as far I've been here for two years and I feel
like I am just so oblivious to all the the new stuff and I guess it's just
because I know web 3 never sleeps we are all over the world and so it's like yeah
I'm sleeping while the other people are waking up and just going crazy on on
these cool innovations but again like that's it's so cool to hear just like
what you're working on and everything like that one of the one of the things
that I talked to with one tree planted was I talked about like my my crypto
donation we talked about ways or different exchanges not exchanges
different platforms that people can donate crypto through right as of right
now you can only donate through the giving block which again I'm super
thankful for because if it wasn't for the giving block then I wouldn't I would
have never been able to donate in crypto but you know they do take fees
for themselves which is understandable but there are other donation platforms
other companies that are out there that don't take any profit and then are that
are nonprofit themselves which it literally gives everything that you
donate straight to the nonprofit and so it was really cool to talk with one tree
planted to hopefully get them some more exposure and get them more you know
donations more on board with web3 we talked about tons of different ideas
that they could use with that crypto but one of the big things that I told her
that I was kind of disappointed in was you know not being able to have that
tree update because there's other companies out there like ten tree it's a
clothing company if you buy one piece of clothing they plant ten trees through
one tree planted but you get a token with with your purchase so it's like a
wood token and you can go to I think it's a website or a QR code that you have
to go to but they literally show you exactly where your trees are planted they
will give you like updates stuff like that it's really freaking cool and I
told her that's something that I think would honestly just benefit everybody in
general is if you know one tree plant was able to provide those updates or at
least say hey thank you for your donation this is exactly where we planted
trees she thought that was a really good idea and so they're there she's gonna
talk to her team and see if maybe they can basically like set aside one of
their one of their most needed areas to plant trees in set that aside just for
crypto donations because then it'll be a lot easier for them to track it instead
of being like because they have so many projects around the world the project
that I donated to last year is just a general donation and it went to their AFR
100 project that they have going on which is a huge project with a bunch of
different companies or countries trying to fund it but it's basically just
planting a shit ton of trees in Africa which is much needed and so I was
obviously glad to donate to that and help that cause I think I planted over
almost 800 trees through my donations with one tree planted with them so again
I know that's in Africa Jimmy I know you were planting and I believe in East
Africa with these trees so that's also really cool again it's just cool to be
able to help and have an impact on a different country or even a different
state different level it's it's it's incredible and I I want to also show
people through this this monthly Earth Day like one of the goals with that that
I had with my goodness Gitcoin with my Gitcoin grant was this is a this is a
perfect opportunity to onboard people from real life into web 3 and what other
better way to onboard them than to show them like all of these amazing companies
that are on this poster all these people that are impact you know doing amazing
things I want that to be their first exposure to web 3 not the mainstream
media talking shit about you know all these NFTs that people that NFTs are
worthless and this and that okay cool well web 3 is not just about NFTs
there's so much more out there like poison and Corey down there JOC like web
3 is a whole new avenue for for income for revenue like that goes directly to
you like your fans can fund you not not the record label and then you get a
teeny bit of the cut like it's it's incredible what web 3 is about to do and
that's why I like it's I find it funny that people are just you know you hear
some people try to give up on it and it's like what are you talking about like
it is it is so advanced right now and like I said I've been in here for two
years and I learned something new every single day what people are doing mostly
from you Jimmy your your spaces I'm just like what the hell like that's out
there right now like it's incredible so so yeah that what about what a better
way to onboard people that have no idea about web 3 then to say hey look it's
about doing good for the for the world look at all these cool companies you can
earn money you can take that or you can earn crypto you can take that on some of
these and exchange it for actual fiat like it is gonna be a pretty pretty
awesome pretty awesome deal down the road just because I feel like it's just
gonna be beneficial to so many people that maybe just don't have the
opportunity so I can't wait it is oh my gosh it's 3 o'clock cool well I kind of
want to wrap it up awesome freaking first episode I literally thought I was
gonna be in here talking to myself which would have been just fine it would have
been a lot shorter which I've done that a few times but thank you all so much
for joining in Daniel I've seen you following a few times thank you I've
seen you in a lot of spaces civil always much love to you man I appreciate you
always coming through civil I named him the the CRO so we kind of were in the
back end and he's like I just don't know you know a name for myself and I was
like dude you're like the chief resource officer like you're the chief resource
person of web 3 sorry somebody's car lines going off but but yeah civil
literally is a wealth of knowledge for web 3 and stuff so our impact projects
I would say I'm sorry if that's loud holy crap let me roll up a window but
yeah if and does anybody else have anything they want to add before I kind
of close it out let's grow together we can all grow in so many ways we can grow
the region movement we can grow our minds we can grow our communities we can
grow our resources our natural resources our connections our relationships
everything is possible if we all can join hands and realize which piece in the
mosaic of impact do we really fit like what is our gift because all of you
guys have an amazing gift a specialty a way of contributing that is really
really meaningful if we can really specialize in that and work together so
that together we're so much stronger it really is true that you know one plus
one can be three it could you know you can multiply you know add to different
impact when you have these kind of synergies it's a it's a beautiful thing
so thank you for for starting up this space man I'm glad that on episode one
I was able to come through and it's now 504 in the morning so I will be
sleeping soon but but I'm happy to do it man honestly like keep up the great work
I feel like everyone in this region space is seeing what you're doing and
and there's so much potential here man if you don't you know I know you're not
gonna quit and you're gonna keep pushing and that just to me means that you're
definitely gonna be successful right it's a matter of time until this thing
really reaches the critical mass until it like absolutely explodes man I'm
telling you like we were talking about you know country level competitions on
Earth Day and like the monthly aspect is so crucial to build that momentum right
to actually make it a massive really incredible thing on your birthday which
is so freakin perfect dude like it's gonna be amazing so yeah keep it up
